Rating: We Avoid
- 1 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
The Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club with Colby Jack earns a rating of 1/5 green leaves, signaling a product that our evaluation process deems as a less healthy option among cleaner food choices. This sandwich is not organic, and it is not made with non-GMO ingredients, which significantly impacts its standing.
The inclusion of added sugars, such as molasses, sugar, and citric acid, detracts from the product’s healthfulness. Dextrose, categorized as a more harmful added sugar, further diminishes the product’s score. A variety of potentially harmful additives are present in the sandwich, including natural flavors, enriched flour, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, and calcium disodium EDTA. Caramel color, propylene glycol, sodium nitrite, and sodium benzoate are identified as known harmful additives, which contribute to the product’s low rating. The use of canola and soybean oil, considered harmful oils in our assessment criteria, also negatively affects the score.
The product’s ingredients list reveals a complex mix, with the chicken breast containing a solution that includes several seasonings, stabilizers, and preservatives. The brioche bun is made with enriched flour and includes a grain blend, though it also contains additives like guar gum and enzymes. The sandwich features Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses, which are processed dairy products. The honey roasted BBQ sauce and bacon introduce additional sugars, preservatives, and flavorings.
The Chick-fil-A Grilled Chicken Club with Colby Jack is positioned as a product to be cautious about due to its array of additives, sugars, and non-organic ingredients. The combination of these elements results in a minimal green leaf rating, reflecting our commitment to guiding consumers towards cleaner, healthier food choices. This assessment aims to help consumers make informed decisions in a market where discerning between healthy and unhealthy options can be challenging.
